 Proper socialization and consistency in training is crucial to  a puppy's development. Let us give you a head start!   Drop your pup off at Donna's for a combination of basic training, attention work, fear-free socialization to people, surfaces and other pups.  Each session is followed by a video lesson emailed to you.  

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday  9-12  (you can choose days depending on availability)  Donna accepts 4 dogs maximum each session.  

• We will conduct an evaluation (on Zoom or in person) and schedule your first session.
• We’ll provide a balance of play, rest, training, field trips, and quiet activities designed with your puppy’s mental and physical health in mind.  
• We provide a training plan, progress notes/video (pup dates!) and troubleshooting tips to help you through the process of raising a puppy.  
• Pups typically attend 3-12 sessions depending on training goals.
• We will schedule  check in session(s)  to keep  you on track.
• This IS NOT Daycare.  It is a head start on training that MUST be practiced by the family to continue success.

Puppies must have age-appropriate vaccinations (2 distemper vaccines and kennel cough vaccine if younger than 16 weeks,  rabies vaccination if 16 weeks or older).
